MOSCOW, September 4 (RIA Novosti) - Russia does not rule out agreeing to a military operation in Syria, provided Damascus' responsibility for using chemical weapons is proved - but only with United Nations approval, President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday.
In an interview with the Associated Press and Russia's state TV network channel 1, the Russian president stressed that Russia needs "clear proof" as to who used chemical weapons in Syria, and that once it has this, "Moscow is prepared to act decisively."
President Putin also confirmed that Russia has supplied components for the S-300 to Syria, but added that deliveries were not completed and Moscow is currently considering its next move.
